Couplings are useful things, and they’re the next up in our series on mechanisms. Matching the Mismatched. Couplings like the one that failed on me have a few general uses.

Underrated couplings: Using a coupling with a torque rating insufficient for the application can damage or break the coupling, compromising the desired transmission.

What are some mistakes end users make regarding couplings and/or shafts, and how do they affect productivity? Darrin/Gerwah: The most common mistake is not aligning couplings to manufacturer specs.

Leaky hydraulic systems cost so much to maintain that many equipment managers have made leak-free couplings one of their top maintenance concerns. It's easier said than done, but with attention to ...

Some quick couplings are prone to leakage, and their quality is crucial. Due to the high demand for AI servers, which require hundreds of these components per cabinet, the market has also seen a ...

HP couplings address these problems by offering greater torsional stiffness, low backlash and excellent misalignment tolerance. They deliver consistent torque transmission in high-vibration, high ...

LOS ANGELES, April 2 (Reuters) - Parker Hannifin , a maker of motion and control systems, said on Monday it has acquired Rectus AG, a German-based manufacturer of couplings. Terms of the deal were ...
